Summary

Intermission is an urban love story about the varying journeys we all take in the eternal quest for happiness. Insecure in his relationship, a young man tells his girlfriend that they are breaking up, in the hope that she will fight him on his decision and commit to stay with him forever. This ill-timed and badly executed test sets off a chain of events that impacts nearly everyone the couple comes in contact with. There is the hapless romantic and his sex-starved best friend. There’s the hot-shot detective and the petty crook he is after. There’s the pretty girl on the rebound and the older married man she takes up with (not to mention his newly deserted wife). An ambitious TV producer, an abandoned fiance, a preteen runaway – all unaware that the slim thread that separates us all is fraying at the edges and threatening to snap. As one life collides with another, they are jarred from their day-to-day routines, routines they weren’t aware that they were stuck in. During this time, one by one, they get an outside glimpse of their lives, some realizing their potential to take charge, others realizing that maybe it’s just too late.
